From today's installment of the "ex-Browns busts who still can't figure it out files":It appears that after two years in Denver, the Broncos have had enough of former Browns d-lineman Gerard Warren.
How badly does Denver not want him around? Well bad enough that Denver told him not to bother traveling with the team to San Francisco on Sunday for an exhibition game. Ouch.
According to
Sunday's edition of the Denver Post, sources within the Broncos organization are using the old "Gerard is a bad fit for the system" gag. The team's new system on defense is being run by former Browns assistant Jim Bates.
Of course, most Browns fans fondly remember Gerard for being more disruptive off the field than on it. While in town, Gerard was known for an array of off the field activities including his self described "skirt chasing" that led to his lack of conditioning as well as once being described as "the nicest mans we've ever arrested" by the police after a gun was found during a routine pull-over.
A disappointment throughout his tenure in Cleveland, the former 3rd pick overall of the 2001 draft was traded to Denver prior to the 2005 season.
Warren played well that year for the Broncos, but production plummeted this past year. Perhaps it was (or wasn't) a coincidence that Warren had his best year for Denver because he was playing for a new contract and decided to take a break for 2006? Hmm...
Now
that sounds like the Gerard Warren we all remember here in Cleveland.
